Sweet shot Simon. Ducks are my life and so you are playing right into my hands with your recent posts. Love the low angle, water, BG, and the great sharpness and detail on this bird. Love the subtle browns, greys, buffs, etc. Well done.

Very neat shot, Simon. I like the still composition, the sharpness and detail of the bird and how the BG echoes the FG ! Very well done.

Very nice Simon, love the POV and the soft BG and FG colors. Excellent detail and a nice catchlight is that big red eye - well done.

Hi Simon, I am not an avian specialist, but this is a fantastic shot in my eyes. The details, composition, and background are superb. Awesome capture.

That skimmer has been your wisest investment in some time. Great angle and misty quality to the water. beautifully sharp. Will it travel over gibber?

cheers
